45 Christoph Anton Mitterer reported that maildrop does not properly drop
46 its privileges when run as root.

49 <impact type="high">
50 <p>
51 A local attacker could create a specially crafted .mailfilter file,
52 possibly leading to the execution of arbitrary commands with the "root"
53 group privileges. NOTE: Successful exploitation requires that maildrop
54 is run as root with the -d option.

57 <workaround>
58 <p>
59 There is no known workaround at this time.
60 </p>
61 </workaround>
62 <resolution>
63 <p>
64 All maildrop users should upgrade to the latest version:
65 </p>
66 <code>
67 # emerge --sync
68 # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=mail-filter/maildrop-2.4.2&quot;</code>
